By Steve Kraske
Published October 23, 2015 at 11:00 AM CDT

The bond between Kansas City and Amarillo, Texas may be stronger than you think.  A train that ran between the two cities led to the shaping of cultures, and a lasting connection.  

Guest:

Michael Grauer is a Kansas City native and Curator of Art and Western heritage at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.

Grauer presents "Cattle, Cowboys and Culture: Kansas City to Amarillo, Making an Urban West" at 6:30 pm Thursday, October 22 at the Central branch of the Kansas City Public Library. For more information and to RSVP, click here.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
